DOHA - A last-minute equaliser from Qatar's Mohammed Muntari meant Iceland warmed up for their World Cup finals debut in Russia next year without a win in two friendly matches in Doha.

The 1-1 draw on Tuesday followed up their 2-1 defeat against the Czech Republic in Qatar last week.

Muntari slammed home from close distance to force a deserved draw for the World Cup 2022 hosts following a laboured performance by Iceland.

And it could have been even worse for the Europeans as Qatar's Ahmed Mohamed even had a chance to win the game very late on.

Iceland had looked set for a routine victory after Vidar Orn Kjartansson scored the game's opening goal in the 26th minute after being put through by skipper Gylfi Sigurdsson, who pounced on a mistake by the Qatari defence.

But they were unable to see off a youthful Qatari side -- whose average age was just 24 -- and who did not qualify for next year's finals.
